British Textile Biennial: Fragments of Our Time – Opening Event

Join us for the opening event of the British Textile Biennial: Fragments of Our Time

Fragments of Our Time is a contemporary textile art exhibition featuring 17 South Asian artists brought together for the first time from the UK, USA, Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. Curated by Uthra Rajgopal, these artworks consider sustainability in the context of the environment, economics, and society.
The materials, techniques and concepts highlight themes of labour, networks, migration, spiritual and emotional connections to textiles. From natural fibres and natural dyes to found objects, discarded clothing and debris, this exhibition presents an extraordinary display of woven, stitched, dyed, collaged, and felted artworks, ranging from the immersive to the delicate.
